There's the world you can see, and then there's the one you can't. After being expelled from their ancestral home, Silvia and her mother arrive in Island City, where they live and work at The Morningside, a dilapidated luxury tower managed by Silvia's aunt, Ena. Feeling adrift, Silvia struggles with her mother's secrecy about their family's past, knowing little about her origins or the reasons for their departure. Ena offers a glimpse into their heritage through folktales of a beautiful, communal homeland, contrasting sharply with Silvia's lonely existence. Captivated by these stories, Silvia begins to see the world through a lens of magic and becomes fixated on the enigmatic Bezi Duras, a reclusive resident of the penthouse who only ventures out at night with her three massive hounds. As Silvia embarks on a quest to uncover the truth about Bezi and her own haunted history, she risks everything in the process. This novel explores the narratives we share and those we keep hidden, as characters seek to understand their origins and envision their futures. Startling, inventive, and profoundly moving, it delves into the complexities of storytelling and identity.
